before each wash. They can cause serious damage if they are left
in your washing.
• Do not put articles in your washing machine if you have used a
solvent, alcohol, trichloroethylene, etc., to remove stains from

any maintenance.
Precautions against frost
If your washing machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C, take
the following precautions :
• Close the tap and disconnect the water supply pipe.
• Put the end of this pipe and the drain pipe into a bowl on the
floor.
• Select the «Drain» programme and make sure it works until it is
complete.

Water that remained in the pipes will then be evacuated, thus
preventing the formation of frost or ice that can damage your washing
machine.
The next time you want to use your washing machine, make sure that
it is installed in a room in which the temperature is above 0°C.
Scrapping
All materials marked with the
symbol can be recycled. Put them in
a waste tip (ask for information from your municipal offices) so that
they can be recovered and recycled.
When you take your washing machine to the tip, make sure that
everything that could be dangerous is out of service ; cut the power
supply cable flush with the surface of your washing machine.
Protection of the environment
We recommend that the following instructions should be followed to
achieve savings in water and energy and therefore to contribute to
protection of the environment:
• If possible, use the washing machine at full capacity rather than
with partial loads (however, do not overload the drum).
• Only use the Prewash or Soak function for very dirty washing.
• Use a detergent dose adapted to the water hardness (see «proportioning of detergents» section) and to the amount of washing and
how dirty it is.

Washing guide
Sorting and preparing your washing
• Sort the washing by type and care symbol (see chapter 5.4: International symbols for care of textiles): normal wash for strong
washing that can resist energetic wash and spin; delicate wash
for delicate washing that should be treated more carefully. For
mixed loads composed of articles of different types of fibers,
choose a program and temperature suitable for the most fragile
fiber.
• Wash white washing and color washing separately. Otherwise,
the white washing may be colored or look gray.
• New clothes very often have too much color. Preferably wash
new clothes separately for the first time. Respect "wash separately" and "wash several times separately" care instructions.
• Empty pockets and spread out the washing.
• Take off all loose buttons, pins and hooks and eyes. Close zip fasteners, tie knots in laces and straps.
• Turn clothes made of several layers of textiles (sleeping bags,
anoraks, etc.), colored hosiery and wool and textiles with add-on
decorations, inside out.
• Wash small delicate items (socks, tights, bras, etc) in a washing
net.
• Treat curtains with special care. Remove curtain hooks and put
net curtains in a net bag or a sachet.
Washing load depending on the nature of the material
The quantity of washing that you put in your drum must not exceed
the maximum capacity of your washing machine. This capacity may
vary depending on the nature of your textiles. Reduce the quantity
of washing if it is very dirty or if you have terry cloth type materials.
Not all textiles have the same volume and the same water retention
capacity. This is why in general the drum should be filled:
• completely, but without excessive pressure for cotton and linen,
and for mixed washe,
• half full for treated cottons and synthetic fibers,
15
User information
• about one third full for very delicate articles such as net curtains
and wool.
For a mixed wash, fill the drum as required for the most delicate
material.
Detergents and additives
Only use detergents and additives suitable for use in a washing
machine. Read the manufacturer's instructions and respect sections
about detergents dispenser and detergents.
Powder detergents can be used without restriction; liquid detergents
should be poured either in the proportioning bowl directly in the drum,
or in the wash compartment provided that the washing machine is
started immediately; detergents in tablets or doses must be put into
the wash compartment of the detergents dispenser in your washing
machine.
The quantity of detergent to be used depends on the amount of
washing to be washed, the hardness of the water and how dirty the
washing is.
If the water is soft, you can reduce the doses slightly. Increase the
doses slightly if the water is hard (it is recommended to use a water
softener) or if the washing is very dirty or stained.
You can ask the water distribution company in your region or any
other competent authority to find out the degree of hardness of your
water.

you should do a preliminary wash at 90°C with detergent but without
any washing to clean the tub.

Proportioning of detergents
Your washing machine has been produced in order to reduce water and
detergents consumptions, so you can reduce the doses recommended
by detergent manufacturers. Pour the powder detergent dose into the
wash compartment
and into the prewash compartment
if you
chose the «prewash» option. Pour in the softener into the
compartment. If you are using a different type of detergent, refer to
the «detergents and additives» section in the washing guide.

Select the desired wash programme and temperature with the
programme selector (for the appropriate programme, temperature and
possible programme options suitable for any type of washing, see
"Programme tables"). The control lamps corresponding to the

18
User information
The OFF position of the programme selector switchs off the appliance
(it is switched on for all other positions). This function enables also to
cancel a programme and to restart the washing machine in case of
error.
If the programme selector is turned when the appliance is performing

position of the selector. In order to solve this problem, re-position the
programme selector on its original position.
Selecting the spinning speed
When selecting the programme or in Pause mode, the light
corresponding to the maximum spinning speed illuminates. You can
adjust the spinning speed which corresponds to the type of laundry
and the degree of dampness required at the end of the wash
depending on your drying possibilities. You can also choose the RINSE
HOLD option.

Care and cleaning
Do not do any cleaning operation until you have unplugged the
washing machine.
Descaling the washing machine
Normally there is no need to descale the washing machine if the
detergent was correctly proportioned.
If descaling is necessary, use a special non-corrosive product specially
designed for washing machines that you can find in the shops.
Respect the proportion and frequency of descaling shown on your
packaging.
The surface
Clean the surface of your washing machine using lukewarm water
and a mild detergent. Never use alcohol, solvents or similar products.
The detergents dispenser
From time to time, you must clean the detergents dispenser in order
to eliminate the possible wastes of the detergents and then to avoid
an operating problem.
The detergent dispenser is very easy to remove for a light cleaning.
Disassembly:
Press the clips on each side of the detergents
dispenser and pull it upwards.
23
User information
You can thus clean it using running water and
a brush or a twisted cloth. Check that the
siphons at the back of the detergents
dispenser are not blocked.
Reassembly :
Put the detergents dispenser in the notches
until they lock.
The drain filter
Clean the filter at the bottom of the washing machine regularly. The
"filter"* light comes on if the filter is blocked. In this case clean it
immediately. If you wash washing that is very fluffy, clean it after each
wash.
Open the door, with a screwdriver for example:
